Use Ethereum Applications
Want to get started using Ethereum? There are hundreds of decentralized applications (dapps) built on Ethereum that you can use today.
What makes Ethereum dapps different?
Applications built on Ethereum (dapps) can do things regular apps can't:
- Create new kinds of money and digital assets
- Web apps that are unstoppable and uncensorable
- Build decentralized organizations, property, or virtual worlds that are governed collectively
Dapps on Ethereum are web applications backed by Ethereum smart contracts. Instead of using a centralized server or database, these applications rely on the blockchain as a backend for program logic and storage. This leads to potentially unstoppable applications: anyone can deploy a copy of the frontend, and freely connect it to the public Ethereum network.
